All sides involved are still processing the events of the past week after the Occupy Cal Poly Humboldt’s presence on campus was ended early Tuesday morning by a multi-agency show of force that ended in 32 arrests, at last count.

On Wednesday, Cal Poly Humboldt released the breakdown of those arrests: 

• 13 students
• 1 faculty member
• 18 non-students

Adelmi Ruiz | KRCR

Notable among those non-students — as we noted in our initial eye-witness report Tuesday morning — was Adelmi Ruiz, a Eureka bureau reporter for television station KRCR out of Redding. Ruiz arrest has raised eyebrows since, as a member of the press, she was doing her job by covering the high-profile law enforcement operation. Strengthening that case is the fact that Ruiz was livestreaming to her station’s social media accounts at the time she was detained and placed in flex cuffs by officers. 

Earlier today, KRCR posted the video from Ruiz’s livestream, which you can watch below.

In the clip below, hear Ruiz speak with her KRCR colleague Mike Mangas about her experience on campus and the treatment she received from law enforcement, including Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal, during her arrest.

The Outpost has reached out to KRCR seeking a response to Ruiz’s arrest. We will update when we hear back. Ruiz herself got back to us, though. “The only thing I have to say is that it was a very upsetting experience but I am grateful for the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office who acted quickly to get me out of jail,” she said.
